course the exact tobacco ratios of the Chesterfield blend are a cher- ished secret.
But any tobacco man can tell you that if you blend Virginia, Turkish, and Ken- tucky Burley in anywhere near the right proportions, you can secure mildness with- out flatness, richness without over richness, and "body" without harshness. How exactly this has been calculated in the Chesterfield blend may be judged from the fact that last year in the United States, the sales increase of Chesterfield was twice that of all other cigarettes combined.
Obviously, "such popularity must be deserved.”:
